Champions League Final | Travel Requirements + COVID Tests

Don’t want to tempt fate, but I will. What was the reason for doing a Day 2 test…as I understood it we all faced fines etc from govt agents. Sounds like we’ve all been done over. How the fuck could govt succeed in fining people based on the total inept organisations they have commissioned to carry out these tests

You had to have one booked/paid for to get back in the country. After that I don't think anyone's going to follow up, even if you don't get a result back.
 
We have finally got our negative day 2 tests with 3 hours 36 minutes of day 10 left

Don't suppose we have a chance of a refund though now, even though the govt say in order for a tester to comply with regulations they have to supply results within 48 hours of receipt...

Update:
Noticed the results pdf is dated 5th Feb, is titled "TEST TO RELEASE DAY 2" and says: This document is to certify that the above named patient had a COVID-19 Antigen nasal swab test performed.

This document says for a day 2 test:
The provider must use established molecular detection methods that have been independently validated by a laboratory with a UKAS accredited SARS-COV-2 RT-PCR method, or an ISO15189 or ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory with the following performance characteristics as a minimum:

  • clinical sensitivity greater than 99% (or 95% 2-sided confidence interval entirely above 97%), and
  • clinical specificity greater than 99% (or 95% 2-sided confidence interval entirely above 97%)
  • limit of detection less than or equal to 1,000 SARS-CoV-2 copies per millilitre (≤1000 Copies/ml)
Seems like a proper slapdash outfit

Just received confirmation of my refund from Eurofins for the Day2 test - now obviously need to check it actually lands in my account.

This came after four consecutive days of writing to them (ignored each time until today) stating the goods I received were “significantly not as described”. Namely, 96 hours to receive a test result they guaranteed would take 24.

Keep on at them Blues. They’ll crack eventually and refund you too.
 
Just had an email from Royal Mail telling me my Eurofins parcel will be arriving tomorrow! Just what I need on day 12 instead of a refund! Fucking idiots.
 
Start sending letters / emails to the likes of Money Matters / Which? / Newspaper Goods and Consumer pages / copied to the relevant ten-bob shyster company and when you’ve finished doing that and heard nothing swamp them in the small claims court. The local (and national) press would love this shit too. Mismanagement/ abuse of public funds in the middle of a pandemic would be lapped up by the 4th estate
 
Just sent a note to Atrucheck requesting a refund of day 2 test as received no results, no point in sending me a result now when Ive isolated 10 days.

Lets see what type of company they are.

Wont let it drop if they tell me to do one, I want my money back.

I’ve had the same.
posted the test 10 days ago, so why would I want another one?
contacted my bank for a chargeback refund.

After selling stubs I broke even on the whole day which I did for £300 (tests, tickets, beer, petrol, airport car tax) only had 6 hours to drink in effect. This is a bonus. The DAM one on the way out was 17 hours overdue but still in time for the flight so not bothering with that one.

Sold used ticket on ebay. For some reason mine got few takers from the UK but several from the EU. Went for £80 - buyer in France had to pay £3 for UK postage to ebay's Global Shipping place, £12 post to France - and £18 duty... Cost him £113... Brexit is shit.
 
Just fired off an email to blindspot demanding a refund for failing to provide a day 2 result

it’s absolutely scandalous and I’m surprised the MSM haven’t picked up on it

failing to send out results is surely illegal as it’s a threat to public health. I’ve threatened to report them unless they refund me

might do even if they do

Just got my Eurofins refund by reporting it to the bank. I suggest you do the same and report them anyway. No point wasting effort emailing them.
I've written to my MP, although I've not heard anything back yet. It's a bigger scandal than just poor service and slow refunds. As you say there are clear public health issues, and if the testing regime to enable safe international travel is not fit for purpose it needs to be sorted quickly while we've still got a viable travel industry in this country.

Who would you report them to ? I am in same position with Dante Labs for my son's Day 2 test. Have sent 3 email complaints to them and demanded a refund but no response. I've now got my credit card company on the case. Also written to the Which mgazine journalist who wrote the article quoted on BBC website yesterday.

I also had problems with DAM Health for the pre-flight test but thankfully got that resolved after a day of stress. But I got a message from a girl last night about DAM saying they cancelled with them after reading reviews but miraculously DAM then sent them "Negative" results for tests they never had. Like you said it's scandalous and no one in authority is doing anything to stop them.
